Concrete Services in Guthrie County, Iowa

JLB brings its full concrete crew to Guthrie County — flatwork, decorative finishes, structural walls, and pools, all in-house. Here's what we pour locally:

Broom-finished concrete driveway for Guthrie County, Iowa homes

Concrete Driveways in Guthrie County

Guthrie County driveways take a beating from freeze-thaw winters and farm-equipment loads, and weak ground beneath them leads to cracking and dipping. JLB pours durable, properly based concrete driveways engineered for the region's clay subgrade so the surface stays smooth and level for the long haul.

  • Air-entrained mixes (5-7%) built to survive 100-120 freeze-thaw cycles a winter
  • Proper subgrade preparation over Des Moines Lobe glacial till
  • JLB's own in-house crew — no subcontractors
  • Free inspection plus the JLB transferable warranty

Concrete Patios & Outdoor Spaces in Guthrie County

A well-built patio extends outdoor living for homes near Lake Panorama and throughout Guthrie Center, but slabs poured on untreated clay can heave and crack. JLB builds patios on a compacted, drainage-ready base so your gathering space holds its shape and finish through Iowa's seasons.

  • Site-specific subgrade prep for Des Moines Lobe glacial till
  • Proper joint placement and air entrainment to survive Iowa freeze-thaw

Concrete retaining wall with weep holes for Guthrie County, Iowa homes

Concrete Retaining Walls in Guthrie County

With Guthrie County's sharp shift from flat farmland to wooded hills, many properties need retaining walls to hold back sloped ground and manage runoff. JLB builds engineered concrete retaining walls that resist soil pressure and erosion, protecting yards, driveways, and foundations on hillside lots.

  • Footings set below Iowa's 42-inch frost line
  • Rebar-reinforced for structural strength
  • Full drainage systems — weep holes, gravel backfill, and drain tile — to manage persistent hydrostatic pressure from the till

For Guthrie County homeowners ready to add a pool, JLB handles the concrete work that makes the project last, from a solid base to surrounding flatwork. We coordinate the excavation and concrete elements so your new pool is set on stable, well-drained ground suited to local soil.

  • Authorized Iowa dealer for Kisol, Elegance by Kisol, and Exclusive Pools — three factory-built shell lines
  • Every shell carries a 15-year structural warranty (manufacturer's, travels with the product)
  • Dig to swim in 4-8 weeks on most installs
  • Excavation dug dead-level to manufacturer spec, with backfill placed in controlled lifts and compacted to proctor standards so it won't settle, crack the deck, or heave in Iowa's expansive till

Concrete Questions for Guthrie County Homeowners

Yes. JLB's own concrete crew works throughout Guthrie County and the surrounding Des Moines metro — driveways, patios, sidewalks, stamped and stained concrete, pool decks, retaining walls, and more. Every job is handled in-house from subgrade prep through the final finish. Call (515) 717-8560 for a free estimate.

Central Iowa runs roughly 100-120 freeze-thaw cycles a winter on the Des Moines Lobe. JLB uses 5-7% air-entrained mixes, places control joints correctly, compacts the subgrade, and sets structural footings below the 42-inch frost line so flatwork resists scaling, cracking, and heave.

In-house. The same JLB crew handles excavation, forming, reinforcement, the pour, and the finish — no subcontractor handoffs. On pool projects, that same crew sets the fiberglass shell and pours the surrounding deck under a single contract.
